List-Friends of diverse linguistic origins: is there in another language a WORD meaning the same idiosyncrasy as what the USA " p r i v a c y " indeed covers?

(Anotrher similar US-puzzle emerged lately: the "Christ" in Christmas what 'faithful' souls want to preserve in the 'spirit' of the holyday, I know names for Christmas in several languages and none includes 'Christ'. Anybody increasing my knowledge?) John M
